Very very quick this morning didn't wake up early like l usually do...unheard ofandJames has turned up and caught me still in bed, he is here to help me get some jobs finished this week...wasn't sure he would turn up this morning, but right on time he is!!...and l'm not even up yet oooops!

Yesterday was another great garden day...another job done in only a couple of hours too..no hold ups, no problems, and all straight forward!..another unheard of lol

Tad dahhh...5 new 6' fence panels up in about 3hoursthe old green ones (l hate green painted wood in gardens lol) were falling apartvery similar panels but much stronger panels and a natural wood colour...so much better and they make the garden look bigger too

What a look?....Mr T spent the whole time outside with us watching what we did and climbing the Cherry trees just outside the garden wall lol

One side completed 9 more to do the other side thoughDigging out the corners of the lawn today I think ready for the cream gravel delivery sometime the end of this week...coming together slowly

James is calling so up l must get.....love him he's made me a cuppa

Have a Marvellous Monday everyone

off to do some digging!evening update:

gets a lot messier before it gets prettier

lovely day for it though!

4 corner spaces for the white/cream gravel being delivered on Thursday

going to be loads better with wider walk ways

Fallen into bed really early worn out, we finished all the log edging and removed about 10 sq. meters of turf, just need to dig out a bit more soil in places and fill with the gravel on Thursday

Hi Suz,Wow!! yous have been busy.Coming along nicely I must say.We had our front garden done nearly two years ago now, and we had gravel put in.What they did was to put a sort of matting on top of the soil before putting the gravel in, and I must say I'm glad they did because we dont get hardly any weeds.Have a great time doing it all, it's hard work but well worth it in the end.Can't wait to see the finished result!!!

Thanks all...can't wait to see it finishedThe other side of the garden to sort out next. Just found out some of the wall pillars are loose and a bit dangerous really, so having to re-think how we fix that problem!

May be we'll be able to sit in it and enjoy it by the time the Sun comes back lolHugs to all xx

I just love your back yard! Were those sculptures on the posts before or did you put them there? It makes it look very manor-like! And I see your bus back there.. hubbies been checking craigslist for one for us. My son wondered what in the world we'd want one for.. kids!
